## Overview

A figure is an argument, not decoration: it should make one point
instantly and survive scrutiny. This skill covers figure design for
papers — choosing the right plot type, layout for single/double-column
formats, typography and labeling, honest axis handling, and exporting
vector graphics that meet journal requirements.

## When to use

- Designing figures for a paper, thesis, or report
- Choosing between plot types for a dataset (and knowing when a table wins)
- Fixing common figure flaws: clutter, tiny fonts, misleading axes
- Preparing multi-panel figures with consistent style
